This week's selection sways from wistful drone pop to gauzy ambient and modern compositions; collecting 14 songs with an elemental, folksy awareness which share a rarified, surreal atmosphere. We've picked those with a timeless sense of romance and an elegant, breezy feel for space, spanning the work of preternaturally gifted vocalists such as Liz Harris aka Grouper, Turkey's Ekin Fil and L.A. nightingale Julia Holter, and boundary-pushing experimenters AGF or Chaines, plus gorgeous, chamber-like pieces from Loren Connors, Lee Noble, and Dirty Beaches alongside the wides… Read more

We're well up for a techno session this week. Girder-strength pounders to serpentine rollers; 14 pieces that run the gamut of dancefloor techno currents from Marcel Dettmann, Moerbeck, Paula Temple, J. Tijn, Sleeparchive, Mike Parker, Orphx and more. There are new school entries from Untold's new Pennyroyal pickup J. Tijn with the searing 'Jack 2' and a bellicose missile from Parisian producer Marcelus, plus a noisy beast from Scots duo, Clouds, while Berliners, Moerbeck and Xhin impress with more sinuous, lip-bitingly dark and sexy sound design. Experience counts… Read more
From imperious doom to concrète invocations: our overdue roundup from the nocturnal hinterlands. They're those pieces of spatial dread and collapsed time, taking black metal, industrial and blown-out rock as the root, and comparing their evolutions in key with electronic possibilities. A perfect example is 'Sambhogakaya' from Sun City Girls' Sir Richard Bishop, incorporating jaw-dropping synth work in his frighteningly heavy 'Beyond All Defekts' album, or 'Miste' from The Haxan Cloak's revelatory 'Excavation' LP, two sides gutting and augmenting heavy rock with elec… Read more
This week we're probing that holographic, sensurreal space between accelerated, cybernetic cultures: from HD electro to lo-fi machine psych and hypeR&B, this selection sorts 14 skeletal, cyber-dubbed simulations spanning the hi-tech songcraft of Atom ™ and Laurel Halo right thru to Negra Branca's wry avant-pop and the crafty rhythms of Co La or L-Vis 1990. While operating in disparate spheres, they all share a feel for dubwise space and efficiency, using both raw and complex mixing techniques to make the most from minimal ingredients. In the finest, futuristic sense, these a… Read more
In workshops, bedrooms and studios from the industrial landscapes of Cleveland, Ohio, to Cleveland, England, and far beyond, producers are forging an uncompromising industrial sound. As a follow up to our 'Nause Techno' session, we've collected some of the best recent examples from this swelling scene drawn from the catalogues of key conduits such as Hospital Productions and Opal Tapes, Modern Love and Downwards affiliates. Dominick Fernow's prolific Hospital Productions lend no fewer than four pieces, ranging from the ambient majesty of Alberich's 'No Mistake' to the … Read more
Casting the net far and wide, we spy 14 exotic cyan psychedelics touring everything from avant-blues to post punk obscurities, via pacific coasters, Korean classical and dub prayers. While far flung, we can hear a celestial thread, a mystic syzygy of sorts, tying together the '80s wave dubs of General Strike and Leven Signs with the spiritual psych-reggae of Dadawah, while tracing a vein of blues into William Adamson's wonderful 'Eastern Version' and the 12-string abstractions of Henry Flynt and Blues Control & Laraaji, or even Jung Nam Hee's remarkable Kayagum Sanjo… Read more
Instrumental grime and London bass music is in rude health right now. With a nod to Keysound's excellent scene round-up, 'This Is How We Roll', we've selected 14 dread-filled and virulent riddims ranging from holographic minimalism to out-and-out ravers, taking in trap mutations, the dark spawn of dubstep, and technoid funky. Keysound's new skool is represented by Wen, Beneath and Visionist, while the likes of Kode 9 and Kryptic Minds give up proper zombie dubstep sounds. Hardcore funky playas R1 Ryders, Lil Silva and Funkystepz fire off a round of proper techy tackle and r… Read more
This week we collect 14 shakers, skankers and swingers which may have escaped your attention. From the top there's a brace of funked-up crackers running from OL's flighty frisson 'Vertical Race' to the code-breaking pivot of A Made Up Sound's 'Ahead' and the deft cut-ups of Missing Linkx, plus a secret weapon from Theo Parrish's 'Sketches' album starring IG Culture, and the deadly return of Nubian Mindz on 'Hacker Wacker'. Deeper down, we squeezed in Madteo's trippy and overlooked rework of JTC's 'Beats In Space' beside the cryptic programming of Terrence Dixon's mig… Read more
There's nowt better to soundtrack the turn of the seasons than a buncha new age synth drift and streaking cosmic aces. It's turning into a yearly occurrence (see our 'Convective Currents' pick from 2012), and this time we've placed an emphasis on those artists exploring house music's beautiful, meditative, tripped-out qualities, as with Elbee Bad's 'The New Age Of Faith' earworm, the blissed magick of Maria Minerva and Karen Gwyer or the spiritual alignments of Maxmillion Dunbar and Teengirl Fantasy. We also find their close relations, John Heckle, Huerco S and Fou… Read more

**Second pressing on bright Yellow vinyl - edition of 250 individually numbered copies** The Head Technician cruises up with his first 12" maxi single, presented on our occasional Boomkat Editions series. Since Type's reissue of his 'Black Mill Tapes' last year, PCA has had praise coming from all angles: whether it's for his slick-but-sleazy, Carl Craigian lustre, the BoC-like melodic hooks, or his beautifully full bodied analogue production; he's really hit a collective soft spot dead on. We were keen to hear him attempt something slightly more club-wise, and, … Read more
We're tracking the comtrails of vaporwave and digickal road folk this week; electronic hip hop, grime and R&B from the fringes. As commentary on life, art, music, there's a subversive, cryptic message to be deciphered in the curdled consumer grooves of James Ferraro or the accelerationist tendencies of cloud rap producer, Keyboard Kid 206, while the likes of Mykki Blanco and Dean Blunt's sidelong takes on hip hop and R&B afford unique new perspectives on the dominance and ubiquity of road culture. We also check for the stranger strains of folk influence - both Sino and U… Read more
Fourteen jacks: from proto-house to nu skool buck beats! If there's any meme gurning at us from the 'floor right now, it's the perennial influence of Chicago house and European wave sounds. Here we span some 30 years of the jacking spectrum, from Deux's remarkable melding of new wave romance and thunkin' machine beats on 'Everybody's Night' (1985) to the upfront hunk of SOPHIE's 'Nothing More To Say'. In between you'll find Skream getting down with 4/4 on 'Sticky', and Werk's new signing Moire on the squashed darkness of 'Drugs' beside EBM-reinforcements by Mick Wills, Fiedel and Cowbo… Read more
This week we round up 14 pieces arcing across techno, junk electronics and noise. The application of overdriven electronics and throbbing beats is nothing new, really; the early industrialists and power electronics set, even the maddest Chicago types and gabbers have been at it for decades. But in recent times a whole new school has emerged of belligerent bastards taking license to pile on the distortion over pretty much everything. It's in part a political/aesthetic reaction to a decade of glossy, clean-cut house and techno minimalism and also down to more base instincts… Read more
This week we highlight 14 tracks for their stimulating, synaesthetic qualities; their enhanced capacity to be perceived as matter we can somehow "touch" with the ear or hear through our skin like some kind of cryptic sonic braille. Of course, your experience depends on whether you're listening with headphones or on speakers, but either way, we encourage you to focus on the uneven grain and shape of these sounds, their imperfections and juxtapositions, and their psychedelic potential to synthesize impossibly fragile or illusory sonic ecologies, hopefully as the artist… Read more
To while away the long nights and p*ss poor weather, Scandinavians are particularly adept at entertaining themselves, and us, with a panoply of overproof pop and psychedelic musics melding ambient, jazz, disco and electronics. Whether it's Finnish 7 year old Eeliks:en making tunes with his baby bro on a computer, or the likes of Frisk Frugt's frothy toy music - nominated for Denmark's equivalent of the Mercury Prize - there's a certain sort of dreamy, cabin-fevered imagination to much music from the region, or so it seems from our perspective at least. With that in mind … Read more
The reissue machine worked overtime in 2012 to put a bit o' spit 'n polish on a raft of classics, known and unknown, for our eager ears. We were seriously spoilt for choice (just check our top 100 reissues list over on boomkat.com for proof) forcing us to make notable omissions from this list, either because they're not available to download or they were just so ubiquitous everyone knows and loves them already. What remains are tried and tested nuggets sifted from an already fine pile: we're talking Quick Culture's incredible, two-faced post-punk electro rider; David L… Read more
We finish 2012 at a juncture of pop, techno and avant-garde with 14 tracks that stuck in our heads all year. Respect is due to the masters, with Richard Youngs offering 'The Healing Of Everyone' on his stunning 'Core To The Brave' LP for Root Strata, Alice Cohen making '80s magic on OESB and Wolfgang Voigt at his Gas-like best with the 'Rückverzauberung' for Magazine. The dancefloor was taken to extremes by both Shackleton, with his debut album proper, plus Demdike Stare's modern classic, 'Falling Off The Edge' from the 'Elemental' LP, and the peerless tech-step rolli… Read more
This 3rd part of our annual round-up checks a spectrum of lushly melodic and heavy psychedelic electronics orbiting the dimensions of 4.1 world ambient, trance techno, psyche-dub and those hard-to-place integers that don't have a name yet. At one extreme we find Gnod calling for drum machine reinforcements on the psychoactive epic 'Shitting Through The Eye Of A Needle In A Haystack', and at the other Lorenzo Senni's breathless ascendance, 'Digital '√ı Tzunami' - ostensibly hailing from different spheres, yet with similarly transcendent ideals. Within that imagined sp… Read more
